An anthropologist! That sounds very impressive and important. What do you do?

[phdinbones]

It is. I study human culture. My specialization is in ancient cultures and what can be learned about human activities through their bones, but I have done some work studying contemporary cultures.

[absolutefaith]

Your work sounds fascinating! This is my first time meeting a person such as yourself, and I am very honored to do so. My name is Nia, and I would be happy to participate in your survey.

[phdinbones]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Nia. Just fill out the survey and send it to me and I will contact you with further inquiries.

[absolutefaith]

Likewise, Dr. Brennan. I have finished!

If they are, I have not yet met them.

What is "Anti-Spiral"?

[absolutefaith]

Anti-Spirals are beings in opposition to the spiral race.

[absolutefaith]

Ah! But I myself am not!

[phdinbones]

What is the Spiral race?

[absolutefaith]

Beings with DNA are known as spiral beings because of the double helix structure within their DNA.

[phdinbones]

Like humans.

Do Anti-Spirals not have double helix DNA?

[absolutefaith]

Yes. Humans are a spiral race.

Anti-Spirals have sealed their power of evolution. They were originally spiral beings once.

[phdinbones]

What do you mean, "sealed their power of evolution"?

[absolutefaith]

The power of evolution is a species's ability to progress, advance, and procreate. The Anti-Spirals developed a system to keep themselves from doing this.

[phdinbones]

Why would you want to stop evolving?

1/2

[absolutefaith]

Ah, that is...
